Instructions:
Instructions: First, prepare sauce to allow it to stand and mellow while eggs are being prepared. In a small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients.

Makes 1/2 cup.

For armadillo eggs: Cut each pepper in half crosswise and rinse to remove seeds. Stuff each pepper with cheese. Combine sausage and biscuit mix. Divide mixture into 12 parts. Cover each stuffed pepper with a flattened portion of the sausage mixture, carefully completely sealing pepper inside the sausage covering. Roll "egg" in beaten eggs and then in coating mix. Place on cookie sheet and bake in 350-degree oven 20 to 25 minutes. To serve, drizzle sauce over each egg.

Makes 12 eggs.

The armadillo eggs can be made with jalapeno peppers for those who like more spice in their life. Chimichurri sauce is as common in Argentina as ketchup is in the United States. It is served over meat, poultry and even veggies.
